Well, it's almost that time of year again. Soon we will be opening up nominations for our popular list of the Top 40 Innovation Bloggers of 2013. So, there is still time if you are an innovation author or blogger not currently contributing to Innovation Excellence to join our community and then submit your content for publishing consideration.

After two weeks of torrid voting by some of the authors' passionate supporters, and after a lot of gut-wrenching consideration and jostling during the judging round based heavily on the quality and quantity of contributions to Innovation Excellence, I am proud to announce your Top 40 Innovation Bloggers of 2012:

2012 has arrived. While the Internet is buzzing with ways to survive the last year of the world (according to the ancient Mayan Calendar), Frog Design is thinking of other things that will shape culture this year.

We got together over a great bottle of wine and ruminated on all the great contributions you've made this year and came up with these predictions for innovators -- for the people who do the real work in innovation.
